She wore a black two-piece outfit and her hair was down as she held a box of hair dye up to the camera

The “Food Network” alum shared a mirror selfie on Instagram while talking about how tough things have been over the past year.

Valerie Bertinelli, who is embracing her body, proudly showcased her new physique in an underwear selfie, though some fans criticized it for being inappropriate.The actress posed makeup-free in the bathroom photo while standing near a sink. She wore a black two-piece outfit and her hair was down as she held a box of hair dye up to the camera.

Bertinelli captioned the post, “At some point I will talk about the madness my body has been through this year. But right now every lump bump wrinkle and saggy part of me just feels acceptance and simple appreciation to be standing in front of a mirror in a hotel bathroom in downtown Manhattan ready to color my roots late on a Monday night.”

Fans reacted to her revealing picture with some calling the post unnecessary, “That’s great for you, but you don’t have to show everyone.” Other fans voiced their disapproval, “Have you lost your mind posting this photo. Get some therapy.”


A user who found the post excessively showy said, “She looks great but at some point in time you’ve got to stop being an attention seeker and just live your life.” Someone else bluntly asked, “Do you really think we want to see you in underwear and bra. No we do not. Grow up.”

Another disappointed user exclaimed, “Really don’t need to see this. Why??? Good grief.” A harsher critic begged, “Oh please. Have some dignity.” Meanwhile, one commenter dismissed the post entirely, “Who cares!!! Put your clothes on.”

One more user felt that Valerie Bertinelli was craving validation, writing, “Honestly you’re quite lovely and don’t need to post an underwear picture. If you’re posting for compliments you’ll get them here but why do you need them?”

Harsh opinions surfaced as well, with a user saying, “Why do we wanna see an old lady wearing her panties online? Disgusting.[sic]” Another individual held a similar opinion, noting, “Agree, why at 60 some years old would you pose in your bra and underwear to the whole world. It’s very inappropriate in my opinion.”[sic]

However, not everyone was critical. One fan praised her appearance, “Looking fabulous!!🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥.” Other fans applauded her boldness, “You look great! Thank you for sharing. You are definitely an inspiration to us all.🥰.” An admirer summed up the positivity, “Valerie you look fantastic! ♥️.”

Bertinelli has made significant progress in embracing her body. In her younger years, despite having a beautiful figure, she struggled with self-acceptance and could only point to her ankles as a feature she liked. Now, she celebrates her body, appreciating everything that comes with aging, including cellulite and sagging skin, as a meaningful achievement.

“This is what I have, I so love my brain and my body carries my brain. I so love my heart and this body is what carries my heart, so it’s aging that’s what we all do, that’s all it’s doing,” she shared.
